Wonderland Embroidery Hoop Set

Alice in Wonderland has always been one of my favorite stories. We even named our new Shepherd puppy Alice! So when I saw the fabulous fabric Wonderland from Melissa at The Polkadot Chair, I knew it would be perfect for so many projects!

Begin by cutting out your fabric pieces. Iron them to fusible webbing. Using the layout, iron the scallop flowers, the skirt, the tights and the shoes on the white fabric.

Using dark gray thread, outline the skirt and stitch the “folds” of the skirt. Use free motion stitching and go over the stitching lines three times. Use the dark gray for the floral scallop as well.

Switch to a light gray fabric and stitch the tights.

Iron the apron in place over the skirt, but tuck in the edging trim under the apron first. The fusible webbing will hold it in place. If you can’t find this braided trim, a lace or rick rack would be super cute too!

Cut out a little bunny and fuse it in place in the corner of the skirt. Stitch the skirt in place with the light gray thread.

Trace the writing onto the white fabric and stitch the letters with a backstitch. Using the lettering as a guide, add extra stitching to thicken the darker sections of the font. Stitch the top strap of the little shoes at the same time.

Place the rabbit fabric in the 4″ hoop so the crown will sit where the 12 o’clock would be. (If you aren’t using the Wonderland fabric, I have a 12 on the pattern so you can stitch it if you need to.) Trace the numbers onto the fabric and stitch them in place as you did the other hoop.

Trim the fabrics on the back of the hoops and glue them to the back side of the hoop. Glue pom pom trim on the back of each of the hoops. Connect the hoops with the gold chain – if the links of the chain don’t open, connect the chain to the hoops with a big gold jump ring.

I’d love to see if you make up a set – you can tag me on Instagram or post it to my Facebook page!

So beautiful and sweet! We have an Alice Thing as well. It was the first play my daughter was in. We’re always on the lookout for all things Alice. Um…could you sell them for those of us who are obsessed with their blog right now and don’t have a lot of time to spare?
